flat area sensor Autonics BWP20-20 with selectable operation modes and robust polycarbonate case construction
Product Overview
The BWP Series Flat Area Sensors offer a compact and efficient solution for detecting opaque objects. Featuring a slim 13mm body with a Fresnel lens and a durable plastic injection case, these sensors are designed for easy recognition from various angles and long distances due to their high-brightness LED. With a fast response time of up to 7ms and selectable operation modes, they are suitable for applications requiring reliable detection and interference prevention. The series provides multiple models with varying optical axis pitches and sensing heights to accommodate diverse requirements.
